On this Thanksgiving Day we are grateful to all farmers everywhere, and expressed our gratitude with a tremendous effort to deliver a gift of 22,500 pounds of pork out to our own 1,500 caretakers.
In just two short days, our supervisors and farm managers helped deliver three pork loins to everyone on our team. From Osage to Pocahontas, Iowa Falls, West Des Moines and Afton, the Iowa Select Farms semi truck zig-zagged across Iowa delivering bright blue totes to the warehouses, where supervisors and farm managers loaded their trucks to transport them out to the farms.
To all of our employees, contractors and farmers everywhere—thanks for all you do, on this day and every day.
